Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AJLP 1016, VERH 48, 25PP-244, 832 747-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AJLP1016-A WAYNES GOT A BIG DICK LZ and AJLP1016-B LZ MEGA MORTALS FUCKIN RULE FUCK, WHO TOLD YOU SO.
